I think with most succulents, when damaged or transplanted, you want to le them dry out for a while before watering. Because they are so susceptible to rot, any damaged bits need a chance to callous over before being exposed to water.

Thanks for the tip! I’m in a desert climate and it’s been dry in direct sunlight for 5+ day stretches a few times. If there are no appearance improvements in the next 48 hrs, I might try to dry it again on its side out of the pot before repotting. Would it be obvious if it was fully dead with no chance of revival?
Depends on the species. If the stems are shrivelled and mushy, almost definitely a goner. If they are just looking dry I'm not sure.
I'm not the best with succulents! Most of my info comes from my spouse 😄
I have got some really lush sedums finally. And 2 hen and chicks, although mine are smaller than his and the only difference was who touched them when transplanting 😏
